So I've been Turbo'd to 800Mbps, from Unifi 50.

Although my download speed doesn't reflect that:


My setup:

BTU: Huawei-HG8240W
ROUTER: TP-Link Archer C5, firmware updated just now to most recent.
CABLE: CAT5e between BTU and router.
CONNECTION: Wired directly to PC using CAT5e cable.

Shouldn't the router be at least more capable than that? Expecting under 300mbps or whatever this router is capable of.
Anything I am missing?

Please enlighten. HAVE BEEN PAYING RM199 (RM 242.xx TOTAL with HyppTV RM30 and Tax) for the past 2 months with this speed!
Thanks!

Thanks for clarifying the router, wasn't sure about it albeit reports it can do 300mbps.

My PC is i7 8700K with Z370 MSI Gaming M5 board.
The Ethernet speed is 1.0Gbps.
That leaves the cable, although CAT5e rated around 1000Mbps.
Will buy CAT6 cables for both the BTU>Router and Router>PC, don't have any in the household, but before that I wait for more answers, simply buying stuff isn't helpful.

Still, I'm keeping an eye on the router because this router (Archer C5 from TM) has a rep especially in this thread for being 'unreliable'. Hope it's not that, I at least want to have full capability of this router's top speed before forking RM600++ for a 1000Mbps router.

Thanks!

My Ethernet network is 1.0Gbps.

Will troubleshoot the cables next. It just strange though, a CAT5e cable performs like a CAT5 (100Mbps and below).
Is this common? Surely a number of people who has been upgraded still using cat5e provided by TM, meaning some of us should have reported similar issues that has become aware of?

This is the most likely scenario, TM hasn't call me, I've only received sms notifying about the Turbo'ed and that's about it.
I want to suspect the cables, but we should have gotten a lot of reports by now because aplenty of people still using the TM provided CAT5e cables. I got dozens unused from them, just now tried most of new cables and still the same result.

Thanks for the clarification on the cables.

The suggestion seems like the most probable, TM never called, just an sms notification about the Turbo.
They should've figure out that some of us would need proper update with the hardware and whatnot.

I'll report results after getting them to come over and configure the BTU, I suspect it's not just me with this setback.

Thanks!
At this point I'm happy for any solutions. I narrow it down that it's router or cable related, TM has confirmed to me they already unlocked the bandwidth remotely on their side, and I spent time over the weekend learning how to configure the btu, and it's surely 1gbs.

Internet down since 1pm.
